2000 days
Today is the 2000th day of making “a photo a day”.
The photos have covered many subjects, from flowers and plants (one of my most popular subjects) to mountain views, camping and computer screens. The subjects of the images have been very varied, it depends on what catches my eye that day.
The photos made whilst camping, walking and backpacking are among my favourites.
Wild Camping – Old Man of Coniston
The view from my tent at 5am – hot coffee in hand
Some days I get plenty of time to find a shot, others it is jammed into a busy schedule, hence the computer screens! Some photos have been for the Octagon Technology blog – that particular image was going to be yesterday’s photo but I passed a rose in my way home, that had caught a few rain drops, so I changed my mind.
Using my iPhone makes this project sustainable – it is always within reach and the image processing and blogging software is right there. Occasionally I have been without internet access and the photo has been posted the next day, (I adjust the blog date so the sequence is not broken), but that does not happen often.
No big tips on how to take a photo every day, except have your camera at hand.
So that’s it – day 2000, onto 2001, 2002, 2003…
The Viking Way – The Water Rail Way
Alex and I walked a circular route today, from Southrey using both The Viking Way and The Water Rail Way.
We stopped along the way to brew some fresh coffee, scored a geocache that I could not find last time I passed it and got a couple of good photos.

Lauder Common
Because of an afternoon conference call for a client, I only had time for a short morning walk.

There was a convenient bench up in the hills for a tea break.
I had packed my titanium meths stove for this trip – my Alpkit gas stove o-ring seal has been giving me some problems. It was completely still, when I came to make some tea later in the evening, so I sat at the picnic table and brewed up.

Lauder
And a “VR”.
I spent a showery afternoon, in the car, drinking tea and watching videos on my iPhone.
